Soccer has been known to have some colorful commentary, especially from European play-by-play announcers. Once again it have proven true.
DC United beat the Chicago Fire tonight, winning by a score of 2-0. DC will play the winner of the other US Open Cup semi-final for a shot at the title. However, the most entertaining part of the match was not a goal or a play but a phrase used to address DC United's goalie Joe Willis. After making a decent save in the first half the Chicago Fire's Irish play-by-play announcer Kevin Egan referred to the covering of the ball by emphatically stating "Joe Willis, no spillage."
Catchy and when said with an Irish accent, humorous, I believe we may have stumbled upon a phrase which is here to stay in the DC United fans arsenal of terms. After all, no spillage is a good thing.
